"Many of Nova Scotia's best sports stories have never entirely been told, at least not to the extent they deserve."

In Inside the Game, sports columnist Chris Cochrane goes beyond the headlines to tell the real stories behind ten of the province's most memorable sporting events and achievements: Clyde Gray's boxing battles with the young, brash Chris Clark; NHL player Bill Riley's persistence in the face of racism; Andrew Haley's stunning performance at the 1996 Paralympic Games; and the surprising break-up of Colleen Jones' curling rink, one of Canada's all-time greatest teams-in any sport.

Covering a range of sports (including hockey, billiards, boxing, harness racing) from the 1960s to today, Inside the Game is an accessible, engaging read from a talented sports writer. Includes over thirty photos.
